Controversy stirred up in Dallas after their penultimate regular season game. The hopes were still alive for the Mavs after a tragic downfall since the trade deadline. The franchise could still make the play-in tournament. However, instead of going for the kill, the front office decided to rest its star. After the game, Luka Doncic, who watched the season end right in front of his eyes, admitted his frustrations. Not just that, but the NBA hit Mark Cuban and the Dallas Mavericks with a fine of $750,000 for ‘undermining the integrity of the game’.

But the billionaire owner did something recently that left the NBA world astonished. Cuban has a tendency to stay in the news, be it for his actions on the sidelines of games or his actions off the court. The 64-year-old caught the attention of the NBA world again with his latest antics.

Mark Cuban has another iconic fine moment

Cuban is arguably one of the NBA’s most passionate and unique owners. The Shark Tank investor arrives at most games, enjoys the thrill, and even shares the sorrows with his players. However, if there is one thing he is known for, that is dealing with fines. NBA fans might remember his iconic moment as he uttered ‘f**k it’ just to double his fine that was going to charity. Well, he did something similar this time around as well.

In true Cuban fashion, he once again became a fan favorite. According to a tweet by Legion Hoops, the 64-year-old essentially doubled the amount of the fine to donate to charity. That means he will put a whopping $1.5 million towards a good cause.

It might be a way to make up for their attitude. Cuban could also be doing so to take a dig at the NBA itself. The Mavericks owner hasn’t made any comments on the decisions. But the fans weren’t going to stay quiet after such news.
